Hello,
So recently, i saw an R9 290X with a great discount, i was interested more towards it. I have never got a successful multiple GPU setup so i have some questions.
First of all, i understand that a single powerful card is better then planning to buy 2 cards, but the R9 290X was once the toughest of AMD, and if i'm not mistaken, still the toughest single AMD card. It would be great to have one, when the time comes, i can buy another one if the prices ever go down again.
Anyway, to serious point, does this card support CrossFire? CrossFire, from what i understand, is the system which allows 2 or more AMD type graphics cards to work together. However, this card's description does not seem to have a 'CrossFire' label or something similar. Is it possible that it doesn't support another card?
On the other hand, CrossFire and CrossFireX are the same right? It does not require a 'more later motherboard' or anything correct? As i bought a motherboard that only supports CF and bought a NVIDIA GPU that does not support SLI. The Gigabyte GTX 650 Overclocked edition to be more precise.
Thank you for your time!
PS: This question is out of the topic, but if you can answer it, that'd be great. How great would it be to change from a GTX 650 OC to a R9 290X? I've never used an AMD card before but i don't think i should change my motherboard, and expensive processor just to get an SLI motherboard and get an SLI GPU.
